Better components or better sub? I'll either be getting
MB Quart QSD216's
Alpine SWR-1041D
or
Diamond Audio S600C
JL Audio 10w6v2
I'm stuck! The QSD's are an awesome speaker although I like the silk dome sound but the JL sub is supposed to be incredible.
Any advice?
Also considering the Diamon Audio CM3's.

Just got back from an Audio store and listened to the Diamond Audio S600s HEX components. I compared them with the mid line JL 6.5, 2 way, and 3 way component sets. The Diamonds were much smoother. Better highs, not harsh at all, and the mids were natural. I was actually surprised by the midbass they were putting out. I think I'm set on the components and amps. Still not sure about the sub though but will probably go with the Diamond.
H/U: Pioneer DEH-P77DH
CD Changer: Pioneer CDX-P1280
Diamond Audio S600s HEX 6.5 Components
Diamond Audio CM310D4 10’ sub DVC 4ohm coils
Sub Amp: Alpine MRD-M501 550x1 2ohms
Front Comps Amp: Alpine MRV-T420 110x2
If you go w/MBQ, pay the extra $$ and get the Q's. I have the premiums, and HAD the Discus, reference series. Yes, the titanium tweets are harsh, but the power
handling capabilities (170w) and range 38hz-32K is phenomenal. I will not claim these are the best, in fact, they are overpriced IMO, but a darn good speaker.
Again, silk dome vs titanium!
I had the Infinity Kappa 62.I several years ago w/silk dome, but much prefer the titanium tweeters. Nothing that a little tuning can't fix! Again, all personal preference. As for subs, nothing wrong w/JL
